A reconnaissance-specialized shuttle ascended from the temporary landing platform near the impact crater, the antigravity engine emitting a humming sound. Accompanied by a streak of light, the shuttle quickly disappeared into the clouds and aurora veils.
Red tilted her head back, looking in the direction where the shuttle vanished—prior to that, two heavy reconnaissance drones had already departed from the Plande Sky Island, heading into the higher layer of the cloud sea to find the source of the fallen crystal.
Baili Qing rubbed her forehead, leaving part of her "vision" on the shuttle that had just taken off. While tracking and observing the situation in the high-altitude clouds, she stepped up to the massive crystal.
The impact crater had long cooled, and the turbulent energy field around the crystal had calmed considerably, yet the crystal itself continued to stably release energy without any signs of decline.
